I watch quite alot a films every week or so, but after just finished watching Gran Torino i can honestly say it one of the best films i've watched all year. It's just a sheer piece of amazing film making.
Just wondered what OT's thoughts were on this movie :).

I watched it for the first time last week and I must say it really is an amazing film, one of the best I have ever seen, and the ending is amazing.

Yeah, i must agree with what all of you have said so far :).
One thing i don't get, of course it's my opinion, but alot of people have said it's boring!:shock:
I wasn't for one second distracted, and that's alot coming from me, as i usually have to have a little break at least two or three times when watching a film :|.

wow, actually I was very disappointed with it. He starts off a racsist, lonely man, and during the middle he changes his whole perspective of life in less then five minutes!

Losing the only person that matters to you could spark a sudden change in a person. I think another part of it was the need to feel needed after the death of his wife. The hmongs gave him a sense of purpose, in contrast to the way his family treated him like an invalid. It was a more believable turnaround than Billy Bob Thorton in Monster's Ball.

Some of the actors were pretty horrible, but it was a good movie.

He's one of those rare actors that has a certain "touch". He makes every movie better just by being in it. I loved this movie.

I loved that movie, but Clint Eastwood has definitely made and acted in better movies. Have you seen Unforgiven, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Million Dollar Baby, or Mystic River?

It's really good, minus some really cheesy acting thanks to the asian actors. I know he wanted to find *real* asians for the parts, but their acting, in parts, stopped this movie from reaching perfection.

It was good, but definitely not the best. The acting was super lame at parts, with the sole exception of Clint Eastwood. There Will Be Blood is still my favorite evar. :)

I saw Gran Torino a couple months ago, best movie I've seen in a long time.
